Honda Malaysia launched the new 2020 Honda City this morning, and the latest version of the popular B-segment sedan is off to a great start with 5,000 reserves collected. The familiar name is available in four variants: three of them are powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, while the other is the world debut of the City RS i-MMD hybrid.
The RS i-MMD system, which replaces the previous generation i-DCD, consists of a 1.5-liter Atkinson cycle DOHC i-VTEC engine (98 hp / 127 Nm) and two engines. The ICE works primarily as a generator with the help of an integrated electric motor, which also acts as a starter. A second larger engine, producing 108 PS & 253 Nm, sends momentum to the wheels. However, the engine can provide direct drive at high speeds as it is more efficient than the engine in that situation. The battery is a 1.3 kWh lithium-ion unit.
The RS will only hit showrooms in January 2021. For now, three conventional-powered variants are available. The S, E and V models share the same 1.5-liter naturally aspirated i-VTEC engine, which is a new DOHC version with 121 hp / 145 Nm. Power reaches the front wheels through a CVT gearbox. The declared average fuel consumption is 5.4 liters per 100 km, or 18.5 km / l.
The City S, E and V prices are RM 74,191, RM 81,664 Y RM 86,561 respectively, on the road excluding insurance. When the 2020 sales tax exemption expires, the 2021 prices for the city will be RM76,800, RM84,800 and RM89,800. There is much that separates the four variants, and we have compiled the kit in a timely manner here for easier reading at a glance. For more information, check out our launch report.
Please note the images below are of the E (with Modulo kit and options), V and RS variants – Honda Malaysia did not show the base S grade at today’s launch event.
